Permanent Absentee Balloting

Effective January 1, 2013, electors with permanent disabilities may be eligible for permanent absentee ballot status. The elector must file an absentee ballot application together with a doctor's certificate on the physician's letterhead stating that they have a permanent disability and are unable to appear in person at the polling place. Once this is received, absentee ballot applications will be sent to eligible electors when ballots become available for each event they would be eligible to vote (21 days before a primary, 31 days before an election).

Electors will receive an annual written notice in January of each year from the Registrar of Voters to determine if the elector with this status continues to reside at the address on their permanent absentee ballot application. Failure to return the notice will result in removal of the elector from the permanent absentee ballot status list.

Please call the Town Clerk's Office for information regarding deadlines for voting by Absentee Ballot and for emergency use of Absentee Ballots at 860-647-3037.   For information regarding registering to vote, please call the Registrar of Voters at 860-647-3025.
